La Stracciatella alla Romana

This has always been considered to be a good soup for anybody whose appetite is failing due to illness. Very digestible, it is a nourishing, light soup to satisfy and comfort. The important ingredients are the chicken broth, which has to be good enough to enjoy on its own, and the absolute freshness of the eggs. Don’t overdo the nutmeg or lemon peel, otherwise there is a risk of overpowering the other flavors in the soup.
